Laurence Greenhill's blind speaker cable test published in Stereo Review showed that a majority of listeners could NOT hear any difference between 30 FEET of 12.5AWG Monster cable and 30 FEET of 24AWG ultra-thin wires never intended to be used for speakers, when A-B SPL's were carefully matched.
When A-B SPL's were not matched everyone could hear an (SPL) difference.
That describes the Monster "test" you are all excited about.
Please spare us from these phony Monster Cable so-called "tests" used to sell high-profit margin Monster wires.
